GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • MIKI KOYAMA returns for another year with Toyo’s Nürburgring GT4 program, proving her value as one of the consistent drivers the tire brand trusts with their most challenging endurance efforts. She’ll be joined by familiar teammates Giuliano Alesi and Kazuto Kotaka, plus newcomer Shunji Okumoto as Toyo expands their Nordschleife presence.
  • While Toyo makes headlines stepping up to SP9 with a Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo, KOYAMA’s continued involvement in their GT4 program shows how essential she’s become to their racing strategy. The fact that she’s pulling double duty this year, also sharing a SUPER GT GT300 Lexus with Kotaka, demonstrates the kind of workload top-tier drivers handle when teams recognize their talent.
  • What’s telling is how Toyo structures their driver lineup – KOYAMA isn’t just filling a seat, she’s part of a core group they’re building around for multiple programs. Her experience at the ‘Ring combined with her SUPER GT commitments positions her as exactly the kind of versatile, reliable driver that smart teams invest in for the long haul.

UPCOMING:

  • Nurburgring 24 Hours 2024
  • SUPER GT GT300 Season
